I see blue_strat and DMHowe both mysteriously appeared for the election. -_-

I don't post because I don't actually have a certain view on things. I'm still on the fence.

On a few things.

*shrugs* None of you are for putting the lumpenproletariat into work houses or laying roads anyway.

I believe I vaguely proposed a road building scheme after my bridge plans proved unfeasible

=P Did you propose forcing those who refuse to work to do it in return for the benefits they receive?

No. Good idea though. Very Hitlerian

Voting over! Here are the results:

Boohistory - Boo Party [ 2 ] [12.50%]
Cieran - Democratic Socialist Party [ 4 ] [25.00%]
Commoncold0 - Ostentian Democrat Party [ 4 ] [25.00%]
Pokemaniac John - F&V=P Party [ 3 ] [18.75%]
HRH King Zog II - Pink & Purple Party [ 0 ] [0.00%]
master dingley - Pink & Purple Party [ 3 ] [18.75%]

Due to how close the results are, I will open a brief window whereupon parties may attempt to form coalitions before moving to a run-off.

Mr speaker, this is a clear breach of election rules! It has long been agreed that coalitions should only be formed in the event of there not being two leading parties - and in this election, there are two leading parties. There should be an instant run off between the ODP and the DSP.

Stalin put them in labour camps.

I have no votes and the party's a joke. I'll coalesce with whoever I like because it changes nothing.

No you won't, because I reject your offer of a coalition on the grounds that shouldn't be any coalitions because the ODP and the DSP won the first round out right.

We should have a second round. I've always been opposed to coalitions formed like this...

I would like to put forward my agreement with Mr Speaker's decision to allow the formation of coalitions due to the doubts raised by Pokemaniac John over the legality of some of the voters.

I agree with Cieran that DMHowe is indeed reasonably active and has been so for about the past few days.

I also agree that DMHowe is reasonably active - but not blue strat. He has been known to have not logged in since the previous election on the day before the election. Next day he logs in and votes. Then he isn't seen again until the next elections. I have seen this happening - you cannot deny it.

Just because he isn't seen doesn't mean he's not here though. I barely see him on MSN as it is. You can't see a person not being here, it just doesn't make logical sense. He often doesn't log in to his account, but he IS here...

He could at least participate a bit more - like voting in motions, rather than just turning up at elections and voting for his friend.

The resonance I'm calling for coalitions is because 50% of people want neither of the two front-runners in power.
